Truth Social is a Mastodon-derived micro-blogging app operated by Trump Media & Technology Group Corp. (TMTG, NASDAQ: DJT) through its wholly-owned subsidiary T Media Tech, LLC. TMTG's Privacy Policy discloses collection of Account Information (name, email, mailing address, date of birth, location, phone number, gender, job/employer), device data, IP-derived location, usage data, and content, and states cookies are used to serve relevant ads and third-party advertising partners may place cookies that collect data used to serve ads. The policy states TMTG does not sell Personal Data to companies for their own marketing purposes without permission, while still using data to serve interest-based ads. TMTG's ownership is fully traceable through SEC filings: its FY2024 Form 10-K names Trump Media & Technology Group Corp. as filer and discloses that the Donald J. Trump Revocable Trust, of which President Trump is sole beneficiary, beneficially owns approximately 52.1% of TMTG's voting power. The same 10-K's cybersecurity risk factors describe TMTG's systems as a 'particularly attractive target' for breaches given its prominence, but no confirmed data breach, FTC action, or state-AG settlement was found in the sources fetched.
